Well yeah. The Kinect is what I like to call "World's Fair tech." Very cool and interesting in a vacuum as a demonstration of technical achievement, but when taken out of that vacuum and put into the practical world it is actually limited in usefulness. The Wii's success and advancement wasn't just in motion control tech, it was in solving a problem with motion controls: navigation of a 3D space. With the D-pad and analogue stick found in the wiimote-nunchuck combo, 3D space navigation was possible in a game, even if it had a lot of motion controls. So even though the Kinect was more advanced technologically, by abandoning that advancement it become less advanced in a practical sense. Metroid Prime 3 and Skyward Sword are not possible on the Kinect as a result.
